Can't map capslock key using AutoKey

Question

My goal is to map CapsLock to Backspace.

When I get to this point, pressing the CapsLock key doesn't do anything and will actually crash AutoKey.

First map your CapsLock key to a Hyper key adding the below in to a new file in the home directory with the name .Xmodmap.
```
clear Lock
remove mod4 = Hyper_L
keycode 66 = Hyper_L
add Lock = Hyper_L
```
Then autostart this by adding below to one of the startup file, depending on your requirement. (ie. .xinitrc, .bashProfile, .Profile or, if you're using a window manager, adding to the window manager config) xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap.
Then Autokey will start recognizing your CapsLock key as a Hyper key
